Or an abuse of campaign funds?

The Republican National Committee appears to have spent more than $150,000 to clothe and accessorize vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and her family since her surprise pick by John McCain in late August.

According to financial disclosure records, the accessorizing began in early September and included bills from Saks Fifth Avenue in St. Louis and New York for a combined $49,425.74.

The records also document a couple of big-time shopping trips to Neiman Marcus in Minneapolis, including one $75,062.63 spree in early September.

The RNC also spent $4,716.49 on hair and makeup through September after reporting no such costs in August.

Can we now stop saying she looks like Tina Fey? Tina Fey looks damn good and I’m sure she doesn’t need to spend $150,000 a month to do so.

UPDATE:
And whatever happened to the days that getting a $300 haircut was such a crime?

If Sarah Palin was such a good leader then they would have no reason to play dress up with her. Instead they have to spend all this money to give the right wing idiots a boner. At least it was RNC money and not taxpayers money. Of course that would change if she become VP.
